The artist residency Art´n Fiber® was established in 2022 by textile/fiber artist Katriina Flensburg, Sweden, the runner and owner of the residency and launched as an intiative under her educational company Quilt Academy of Sweden.
The fully funded short term residency is run in close cooperation and support from the Region Uppsala and Uppsala Municipality. It focuses on international cultural exchange, artist presentations and cooperation. The residency is announced yearly through a public Open call and it covers a three week funded stay for a selected artist. The targeted group of applicants is the textile/fiber artists living in Europe outside Sweden. Find out more on the below website:
The permanent location for the residency is the Quilt Academy of Sweden facilities in Storvreta, a northern suburb of the city of Uppsala, including generous rural surrounding within the area.
Except for the funded stay a limited number of weeks are made available for bookings by individual artists, artist couples or colleagues in search for a short-period studio space for current projects, for developing ideas and/or collecting knowledge and inspiration within the field of fiber art. Personal payment or extern funding is required.
